Imma post my old super mario main theme cover!

Woah, it's been more than a year since i started composing on ht2. I swear, i kept using this awesome tracker and i completely forget how to Lsdj. Guess it's time for me to record all my music, i just need to build a filter for the ultra high frequencies that my calc has.
Quick suggestion: why not adding somewhere on the screen the current savestate number? Everytime i compose for a long time, i completely forget in what savestate i'm working and sometime i've accidentally overwritten a song.

New HT2 track! This time, in free download with many other chiptunes from Italy.
Happy holidays y'all!

Talkin' bout da tracker at Revision last weekend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UgSDAkXAJw
Rather technical, with a lot of uhhm and ehhm, and a failed demonstration of the QED68 sound routine at the end.

Thanks! I had initially planned on implementing this, but ultimately abandoned the idea, mostly because of my lack of experience in coding such a system. At the current stage, it would be quite tricky to add, because there's just a few hundred bytes of memory left. And there's actually a few other features that I still want to implement (advanced live mode, better copy/paste/clone support), so I'd rather spend the remaining bytes on this. I might consider it again at some point, but at the moment I'd rather try to convince the TiLP guys to try and add Android support, which would probably solve the problem for many people as well.

Btw, a call for action to everyone: Please do test the latest beta versions from github. There are a couple of nasty issues which I need to sort out before I can progress further. So far I've had no luck with these, so any input on them is highly appreciated.

This is GREAt to read, it's good to know that you are still developing the tracker! One month ago someone stole my backpack with all my "calculator gears" inside, but yesterday couple of friends gave me a mint TI 82 stats fr. I can't wait for my greylink to come, i want to try the new version of Ht2!

Picked up a TI-84 Plus Silver for cheap. Can't wait to get Houston onto it!
Thought it would be great fun, especially when I'm travelling.
Noticed the tasm_on_calc allows one to program directly in assembly?
It would be ace to be able make some tunes and mess about with assembly on the same device - unless it's one or the other.
Guess I'll find out once I start reading the bits and bobs.

Ah, good to know on the tasm_on_calc front.  I'll look into the Flash archive once the calc arrives. Ha, Ha, well, maybe as a technical/training excercise translating machine code by hand might be useful (shudders...)

Yes, there are sound differences, though it's hard to say which one has the "best" sound. There is also a factor that might be even more relevant than the model: The battery level. It has a direct impact on the CPU speed. And that again directly affects things like pitch, and sound quality. When batteries get low, you get more bass, but worse sound quality. If you get a high frequency beep, you can try some fresh batteries, and the situation should improve.

I have to say that I used TI connect for install HT2 and not TILP. On TILP it never worked (I didn't have TI connect installed when I tryed with TILP). I tryed all I can do, on windows 7 with TILP... But nothing... So after searches on google I found TI connect and it worked. I used a grey silverlink cable.

Well, with backlight and prosound modifications it's not completly out of the box ^^ but yea... But I don't think the calculator 1bit sound is worse... it's just different

I use linux, but I don't use Terminal much (just apt-get update and things like that) I don't know how to code :-)

Ho ho ho! HT 2.30 just hit the streets! Check out the introduction video and this crappy demo tune. And of course download the new version

Changelog:

NEW/CHANGES
- note table tuned to ~440 Hz (and some notes produce more useful noise fx as a result)
- ch2 duty sweep (5xx, xx > 0x80) now has a configurable parameter (xx & 0x7f)
- effect 7xx (auto-chord) now has two modes: unsynced (regular) and synced (octave chord)
- channel volumes rebalanced
- slowed down ch3 slides, 3xx now works like 2xx (xx is no longer inverse)
- 9xx no longer disables 3xx
- new effect: ch3 grind (enabled with 6xx, xx>0x80)
- old Axx has been ditched
- new Axx effect: set phase offset ch3
- Synth Mode: hold current row
- add display of last used savestate
- add pattern loop playback mode

BUGFIXES
- fixed user drum input glitch
- fixed major bug in keyhandler
- reset player when clearing worktune

Also made a fancy new pdf manual which is included in the download, as well as garvalf's handy cheat sheet. Haven't updated htutil yet but the one from v2.20 should work for 2.30 as well.
